Lately Jonah's imagination has blossomed. He is turning ordinary objects into other more fun things - small balls into berries, a push toy into a lawn mower, a stick into a car key, a parent into a horse. Heck, he doesn't even need an object to use his imagination. He can just pretend he is eating without holding anything in his hand.
Likewise, his vocabulary has been expanding with the speed of a lightning. For example, he has been learning colors lately.
Today was a fun day. We went to a tulip festival, something I've always wanted to see, but always missed by weeks. This festival was so much fun. Of course, the beautiful flowers, food, and so much for Jonah to do - mostly simple, old-fashioned entertainment, which is what we're mostly about. There were hand-powered water pumps that propelled ducks down a rain gutter, slides, tunnels, a simple wooden playhouse for toddlers, swings, and best of all - a sandbox with a dump truck and shovels it. Jonah was in heaven.
One of my favorite things to see, aside from the flowers, were the old-style steam powered tractors. The machinery worked effortlessly, with the wheels spinning silently and the wood, burning to heat water that in turn created the steam, smelled so good!
I put up new pictures in our photoalbum for your enjoyment
